I write when I feel sad or left alone

I hope you get to write happy stories too.

These words of encouragement from Cornelia Funke (author of the Inkworld trilogy and books like "Dragon Rider") may inspire you.

She said of ideas that "They come from everywhere and nowhere, from outside and inside. I have so many, I won't be able to write them down in one lifetime." On the characters, Cornelia Funke elaborates "Mostly they step into my writing room and are so much alive, that I ask myself, where did they come from? Of course, some of them are the result of hard thinking, adding characteristics, manners, etc, but others are alive from the first moment they appear" and she pointed out that Dustfinger from "Inkheart" was one of the most vivid characters who ever popped into her mind.

For aspiring authors, Cornelia Funke says: "Read – and be curious. And if somebody says to you 'Things are this way. You can't change it' - don't believe a word."

I believe I am most motivated by reasoning that I manage in my head. I'll trial to accumulate up as much new material from the out-of-doors world as I can encompassing publications, videos, video sport, melodies, and discerned behaviors from the persons that enclose me.

I get inspiration from other publications, from just considering randomly until "hey, that noise cool!" or even just composing for hours. I manage like candles, but I believe that's more just because I have a tibit of pyromania in my brain than some mystical value of inspiration

hello
There is so much out there these days that is negative and depressing. I'd like to challenge you. I challenge you to think positive. I challenge you to tell me what inspires you.I'll start. It inspires me to be able to use my talents to help others. It doesn't always pay the bills, but it inspires me. Learning something new inspires me. Whether it is a new skill I learn, or just a new fact. It inspires me. Standing on the side of a mountain, experiencing the view inspires me.If you can think about what inspires you, it gives you a goal. It gives you a positive and constructive passion to grasp to. The more you strive toward that goal, the more positive person you can become. It can be something small, or what others might find insignificant.Let's start today, Tell me what inspires you.

I'm inspired in oh so many ways; but to start this off, I'd have to say that I'm inspired by people who speak more than one language. To listen to them flit from one language to another with so much ease. It fascinates me, and, I admit to a tinge of jealousy when on holidays I can't buy a book in the language of the country I'm in! I wonder what made them learn a 2nd/3rd/4th+++ language and how? I have smatterings of languages but yet to master that 2nd one to fluency level. (Although I'm working on it). Imagine how many more books you could read.

It can be anything, but usually I am inspired when I read or when I think to myself. Sometimes, if someone says something interesting it might inspire me too.

my mother is the inspiration for me

william3964 · Post by **william3964** » 09 Nov 2011, 07:47

I do in my head. I'll try to gather up as much new material from the outside world as I can including books, movies, video games, music, and observed behaviors from the people that surround me. This gathered material isn't really what I would call inspiration for me though. This material is only fuel and is meaningless on its own. The inspiration comes when I am able to connect these ideas together.

Nature inspires me a lot.

Quest for the Ark · Post by **Quest for the Ark** » 11 Nov 2011, 12:45

A man with no legs who climbed Mt Everest inspires me.
A 13 year old girl from Noosa in QLD Australia, who had her left arm bitten off by a shark while surfing in Hawaii. Two weeks later, stitches out, and here she was paddling back out to catch another wave.
A 15 year old boy jumps off a massive bridge to save a drowning mother. (he should have been at school, good thing he was naughty that day)
People achieving the impossible and unthinkable.
There are NO excuses, only laziness.
Inspiration is but a reflection in the mind which may be gleaned anywhere.

For me it depends on what mood I am in. I have a book of quotations that is divided by subject. I'll just thumb through it until I find something that inspires me.
